                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Administrative Committee
Whittaker Corporation Partnership Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Whittaker Corporation Partnership Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 1994
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the 1994 financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Whittaker Corporation Partnership
Plan (the "Plan") (formerly the Whittaker Corporation Savings and Stock
Investment Plan) are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Valuation of Investments

Investments in securities are stated at fair value. The investments in Whittaker
Corporation and BioWhittaker, Inc. common stock are stated at fair value based
on closing sales prices on the last business day of the year. Deposits with
insurance companies are stated at contract value. Contract value represents
contributions made under the contract plus interest at the contract rate, less
periodic distributions.

Investments in mutual funds are based upon redemption value on the last business
day of the year as determined by the investment manager. The investment in the
Bankers Trust Company BT Pyramid Equity Index Fund, which is principally a
portfolio of common stocks included in the Standard and Poor's Composite Index
of 500 stocks, is stated at the market value of the fund portfolio as computed
by Bankers Trust Company.

Investments in the Schwab Retirement Money Fund, Bankers Trust Company BT
Pyramid Discretionary Account Cash Fund, and Bankers Trust Company BT Pyramid
Directed Account Cash Fund, all of which are short-term investment funds, are
carried at cost which approximates fair value.

2. Description of the Plan

The Plan is a defined contribution plan to which eligible employees may
voluntarily elect to contribute stated percentages of their compensation (as
defined). Generally, an employee of Whittaker Corporation (the Company) is
eligible to become a participant after completion of 90 days of eligibility
service. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for more
complete information.

                                                                               4

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



2. Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions

Participants may voluntarily contribute through salary deferrals up to 12% of
aggregate compensation received during all periods of participation. Effective
January 1, 1994, salary deferral contributions were limited to $9,240 per
calendar year, subject to upward adjustment pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code.

The Company contributes on behalf of the participant an amount which is based on
the participant's contributions. The Company's matching contributions are
invested primarily in the Whittaker Common Stock Fund.

In addition to matching contributions, starting with the 1995 fiscal year, the
Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, may contribute on behalf
of the participant amounts based on the attainment of certain pre-established
goals for the Company, subject to certain limitations.

Investment Options

The individual accounts of each participant are held and invested by the Charles
Schwab Trust Company (the "Trustee") in one or more of the following funds, in
accordance with the available investment options selected by the participant:

    Whittaker Common Stock Fund - An unsegregated fund which may only invest 
    in Common Stock of the Company and securities convertible into Common Stock
    of the Company, or warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock of the 
    Company received as a result of holdings of such Common Stock.

    Diversified Portfolio Fund - An unsegregated fund which may only invest in
    equity or other securities including, but not limited to, common stock,
    preferred stock, securities convertible into stock, interest-bearing 
    securities, cash and cash equivalents, options, puts, calls or similar 
    arrangements, and pooled funds maintained by the Trustee and invested in 
    any of the foregoing securities, provided that no such investment may be 
    made in securities issued by the Company. Since September 1, 1988, this 
    Fund has been invested in the Bankers Trust Company BT Pyramid Equity Index
    Fund. Effective November 1, 1994, this fund was

                                                                               5

2. Description of the Plan (continued)

    discontinued as an investment alternative under the Plan. Amounts held in 
    this fund were transferred to one or more of the other investment funds 
    based on the direction of each participant.

    Stable Value Asset Fund - An unsegregated fund invested primarily in 
    guaranteed-income contracts issued by various insurance companies, and 
    high quality money market instruments. The fund may also invest in U.S. 
    government and U.S. government agency securities. Prior to November 1, 
    1994, this fund was known a the Fixed Income Fund (Fund C).

    BioWhittaker, Inc. Common Stock Fund - An unsegregated fund invested in
    BioWhittaker, Inc. common stock. This fund was established in December 1991
    as a result of Whittaker Corporation's spin off of BioWhittaker, Inc. and a
    resulting distribution of BioWhittaker, Inc. common stock to the Plan. No 
    future contributions or transfers can be directed to this fund.

    Participant Loan Fund - Plan participants may borrow the lesser of $50,000 
    or one half of the participants' vested value in certain accounts. Amounts
    borrowed must be repaid within five years, unless the loan is used for the
    purchase of a primary residence, which requires repayment within 15 years.
    Interest is charged at the trustee's prime rate at the date of loan 
    approval.

Effective November 1, 1994, the Plan added four additional investment options as
follows:

    High Quality Intermediate Corporate Bond Fund - Invested in The Fidelity
    Intermediate Bond Fund, a mutual fund which invests in high-quality 
    corporate obligations, U.S. government securities, obligations of major 
    U.S. banks, prime commercial paper, and other similar instruments.

    Balanced Fund - Invested in T. Rowe Price Balanced Fund, a mutual fund which
    invests approximately 60% of its assets in common stocks and at least 25% 
    of its assets in senior fixed income securities. The fund may invest up to
    15% of its assets in foreign securities, and up to 20% of its assets in 
    mortgage-backed securities. The fund may also invest up to 10% of its 
    assets in debt securities rated below investment grade.

                                                                               6

2. Description of the Plan (continued)

    Growth Fund - Invested in Twentieth Century Growth Investors, a mutual fund
    which invests in equity securities of large, established companies having
    positive trends in both earnings and revenues, and a high degree of 
    liquidity. Up to 10% of fund assets may be held in cash.

    International Equity Fund - Invested in The Templeton Foreign Fund, a mutual
    fund which invests primarily in stocks and debt securities of companies 
    outside of the U.S. It maintains a flexible investment policy and can 
    invest in a broad variety of different types of securities and in any 
    foreign country, developed or undeveloped. The fund may invest up to 5% of
    its assets in medium-quality or high-risk lower-quality debt securities.

Vesting

Amounts (other than profit sharing contributions) allocated to a participant's
account are fully vested. Amounts allocated to a participant's profit sharing
account become vested at 20% per year of eligibility service, beginning in the
third year of service, and are fully vested with seven or more years of service.

Unallocated Plan Assets

During 1992, the Whittaker Common Stock Fund received certain amounts
representing its share of the proceeds from a class action legal settlement. It
has not yet been determined how these unallocated Plan assets will be allocated
among current and former participants.

Distributions

Distributions are payable to participants or their beneficiaries in a lump-sum
amount equal to their account balances upon retirement, disability, death or
termination of employment. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, there were $67,823 and
$274,783, respectively, of distributions payable to terminated, retired, or
withdrawing employees.

                                                                               7

Termination Provisions

The Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan. In the event of such termination, participants will receive
a distribution equal to the vested value of their individual accounts.

3. Investments

The Plan's investments are held by a bank-administered trust fund. During 1994
and 1993, the Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold, as well as
held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:

Early withdrawals are permitted under certain of these contracts but are subject
to adjustments, the most restrictive of which is a forfeiture of interest on
amounts withdrawn and that any withdrawals will reduce the next scheduled
installment.

3. Investments (continued)

At December 31, 1994, the Stable Value Asset Fund held an investment of $488,896
in a group annuity contract with Aurora National Life Assurance Company (ANLAC).
In April 1991, Executive Life Insurance Company (ELIC), which was the original
issuer of the contract, was placed in a court-supervised conservatorship by the
California State Insurance Commissioner. The ELIC contract, which was scheduled
to mature January 9, 1993, went into default on that date. A realized loss of
$135,896 was recognized during 1993 to reflect the contract at its restructured
value. During 1993, the contract was transferred to ANLAC by reinsurance and
assumption after being restructured, pursuant to the order of the California
Superior Court. The ANLAC contract value of $488,896 is based on values received
from ELIC, which values are subject to verification and audit by ANLAC.

Each participant's share in the Executive Life group annuity contract as of June
30, 1991, has been segregated within the Stable Value Asset Fund, and a detailed
record of such is being maintained by the Trustee. Accordingly, Stable Value
Asset Fund (formerly the Fixed Income Fund) distributions, transfers, and
withdrawals after June 1991 do not include the segregated asset and new
contributions have not been affected.

                                                                              11

                     Whittaker Corporation Partnership Plan

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


5. Income Tax Status

The Company has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service that the Plan qualifies, in form, under Sections 401(a) and
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and the underlying trust is,
therefore, exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. Once qualified, the
Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its
qualification. The Administrative Committee has indicated that it is not aware
of any events which would cause the Plan to become disqualified in operation.

6. Plan Merger

On March 27, 1994, Whittaker Corporation acquired the assets and business of
Systron-Donner Safety Systems. Whittaker Corporation assumed the defined
contribution plan sponsored by the previous owners of the business and renamed
it the Whittaker Corporation Safety Systems Division Retirement Plan (the Safety
Systems Plan). The Safety Systems Plan was operated for the benefit of eligible
employees of the Safety Systems Division of the Company through October 31,
1994, at which time it was merged into the Whittaker Corporation Savings and
Stock Investment Plan.  The vested value of participant accounts of the Safety
Systems Plan of $8,821,466 was transferred to the Plan during November 1994.

7. Future Accounting Requirements

Statement of Position 94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health
and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans" (SOP 94-4)
requires that certain investment contracts purchased after December 15, 1993 be
recorded at fair value beginning on January 1, 1995. Certain contracts purchased
before that date must be recorded at fair value beginning January 1, 1996. The
change from contract value to fair value is recognized as a cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle. The Company does not anticipate that the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle will be significant in
either 1995 or 1996, based on the contracts currently held by the Plan and their
fair values as of December 31, 1994.

                                                                              17
